Cheerleading vs sports

Many people, however, criticize cheerleaders. Patricia Babcock McGraw used to be a basketball player. She got an injury on the floor when an opponent’s teeth hit her forehead while fighting for a rebound. The opponent chipped two teeth. “What would cheerleaders know about injuries like that? What would they know about blood, sweat, and tears and being a ‘real’ athlete?” (McGraw 1) Yeah, she’s right! Cheerleaders are just so perfect that they never get knocked out if a stunt drops, or sweat! Must be a magical deodorant… Patricia and her teammates would roll their eyes and wonder what big injury the

You think only men can compete and play a real sport?! Title IX allows women to compete in athletics (Education 1). Women can do anything men can do, as far as I see.

Better yet, let me tell you. They work their BUTTS off creating a routine, perfecting the routine, sticking stunts, gathering music, and cutting the music to meet no more than 3 minutes long. If the routine exceeds 3 minutes, the team will be disqualified from the competition. They compete against other teams in either class A, B, or C in KVACs, Regionals, and States if they are lucky! Cheerleading can be a competitive sport, just like girls’ basketball, soccer, or softball. It just does not require a ball. Therefore, men are not the only people who compete in sports.
